World Expo Osaka 2025
Re-thinking Innovation presents projects that look at innovation from a cultural, social and behavioural perspective, that calls for deeper reflection on how we think, act and connect. You will find innovation in miso and fungi, waterworks and glass houses, digital knitting and AI nature.
18 April – 12 May, 2025 / Open from Friday 10:00 am - Monday 6.30 pm
At global showcases such as the World Expo, technological advancements often take centre stage, presenting a vision of hope in which innovation can foster a better, more liveable and more equitable world. To address the urgencies of our time – from ecological crisis to social fracturing – innovation needs to be seen as more than just tools and technologies. It is a cultural, social and behavioural process that calls for deeper reflection on how we think, act and connect. How can we change our cultural perspective on innovation to encourage meaningful dialogue? Such conversations could explore not only solutions but also the conditions for collective growth and shared understanding.
Rethinking Innovation features: Arne Hendriks – Buro Miso, Field Records – Waterworks, Yasmine Ostendorf – Let’s become Fungal!, By Borre – Digital Knitting, Noorderlicht – Machine Entanglements (Anouk Kruithof, Špela Petrič, and Telemagic)
